Halloween countdown calendar

I just love countdown calendars, don't you? Last week, I was holding this old dry erase board calendar in my hands, ready to throw it away when I realized I could use it for a Halloween countdown. Halloween used to whip my girls into a frenzy. They would start planning for it in August! This calendar is a fun way to count down the days til the big night...

I cut squares out of Halloween paper from K and Company. I cut them the same size as the boxes on the calendar. Next I added some die cuts from K and Company onto each square. To make the squares more sturdy, I ran them through the laminator.

Next I added a few 3D embellishments to the pieces.. I glued magnets to the back and it is done!

Each day they can add a new square to the calendar... this would be a cute idea for Christmas too!
